Historic P-51 mustangs fly over Horizon View Park in honor of 70th anniversary of D-Day

It was a fantastic day for the Historic Flight Foundation’s 70th Anniversary of D-Day fly over at Horizon View Park in Lake Forest Park. Horizon View Park was a fitting spot for the fly over as it has a military history as a Nike missile base during the Cold War.

June 6, 2014 was the 70th anniversary of D-Day. Three North American P-51 World War II era fighters staged a Memorial Fly-by in a three plane Victory Formation over the City of Lake Forest Park.

The planes made two passes over the park

D-Day was Operation Overlord, the allied invasion of western Europe at the Normandy coast in France during World War II. According to Wikipedia, "The largest seaborne invasion in history, the operation began the invasion of German-occupied western Europe, led to the restoration of the French Republic, and contributed to an Allied victory in the war."

Each fighter is from flying museums located at Paine Field in Everett, Washington managed by the Historic Flight Foundation. The three were the P-51B "Impatient Virgin", Flying Heritage Foundation P-51-D "Umpopa Epops", and P-51D "Valhalla".

A small crowd waited for the fly-over

A small crowd gathered near the noon hour in anticipation of seeing the three P-51 Mustangs fly over in a “V” for victory formation. As the planes passed over once, then looped around for a second pass, everyone cheered.

After two passes, the formation flew on to its next stop

Shoreline's Rain Gardens: A Beautiful Commitment to Low Impact Development



Text and Photos By Courtney Olander

In 2007 my husband I were happily renting a little craftsman home in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. We loved being able to walk to the shops and restaurants lining Market Street, to Old Ballard Ave for the weekly Farmer’s Market, and to Golden Gardens for a game of beach volleyball. And then we received notice from our landlords that they planned to move back. We decided we no longer wanted to rent and it was time to buy. At the time, the real estate market was crazy. Homes for sale were regularly the subject of outrageous bidding wars. Our real estate agent suggested we, “take a tour north” to Shoreline, where there was more availability. Well, homes for sale in Shoreline were still getting bid up, but instead of bidding on a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home, we were able to bid on a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. I’m so glad we did because we found our little home situated on an 8000+ sq ft lot, more than we could have afforded in Seattle.

Shoreline is a city of approx 54,000 residents, just 9 miles north of downtown Seattle. It was once unincorporated King County, but officially became incorporated as its own city in 1995. Doing so has allowed Shoreline to be much more flexible when it comes to voting for ballot initiatives. One such issue is Shoreline’s commitment to a healthy environment and more specifically, Stormwater Management. The city of Shoreline has undertaken several projects such as incorporating pervious concrete into new sidewalk additions and converting planting / parking strips into thriving rain gardens. The city even has an incentive program to encourage private residents to convert portions of their property into rain gardens. For more information on Shoreline’s LID (Low Impact Development) incentive program check their Soak It Up Rebate Program page.


As a horticulturalist and landscape designer with an interest in preserving and creating a healthy environment, it’s these rain gardens that I’m most impressed by. A project close to my home is the installation of rain gardens running the entire length of the East side of Ashworth Ave N between N 185th Street and N 192nd St. I watched as they created the beds and planted them with Pacific Northwest natives and plants capable of thriving in wet conditions in the winter, when the beds would hold water, as well as dry conditions during the summer drought months. I’ll admit, there was a little part of me wondering if these rain gardens would be successful after the well publicized failures of rain gardens in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood. I’m happy to report, approximately two years after the initial installation, these rain gardens are not only thriving, but are brimming with color and life! They’re beautiful!

This is a particularly attractive time of year with the sea thrift, Armeria maritima, beach strawberry, Fragaria chiloensis and Nootka rose, Rosa nutkana all blooming. Other plants include; red flowering current, Ribes sanguineum, sword fern, Polystichum munitum, salal, Gaultheria shallon, vine maple, Acer circinatum and various emergents such as sedges and rushes.


The benefit of rain gardens and pervious concrete is two-fold, to allow more water to return to our groundwater and replenish the water table and to act as a natural filter helping to reduce the amount of pollutants entering our stormwater system and flowing into the Puget Sound. In the image above the new pervious concrete driveways are visible.

Though my husband and I didn’t initially think about moving to Shoreline, I’m so glad we did. Yes, it’s more suburban, but I’m proud of our city and think we’re “getting it right” in many ways.

If you have a wet portion of your yard that you can’t quite figure out what to do with or if you’re interested in creating a rain garden for environmental or aesthetic reasons, I’d love to help you create both a function and beautiful space.

Summer Explorers camp at Turning Point

Last week was the end of Homework Factory, Turning Point’s afterschool program, which provides tutoring for students from Meridian Park and Parkwood Elementary Schools throughout the school year.

They finished off with a cooking class for the students. They made ginger limeade, crunchy veggie wraps, chicken pasta salad, and an Iraqi dessert called Holwah Tama

"It was quite a feat and we were so proud of their good work! They invited their families to join us for dinner and we had a great time eating and celebrating a great year!"

This summer they are looking forward to their educational day camp, Summer Explorers, which will take students 1st-6th grade on eight field trips throughout Shoreline and Seattle on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, July 15th-August 7th.

They will also have Summer Lunches during those dates Tuesday - Thursday, which will provide free lunch and games for kids up to 18 years old. $5/child or $10/family. Scholarships are available.

For the birds: Crows—Nestlings usually leave home before they can fly

Maaaaaaaaa!
"Carl" the baby crow calls for his parents

By Christine Southwick
Photos by Peggy Bartleson

Do you have a crow on the ground, making a loud noise? Unless you see blood, or a hanging wing, it is probably not injured. It is most likely a nestling crow which has left its nest before it can fly. Most crows leave the nest early for safety reasons. Nests, with their “feed ME” sounds, are lures for predators — raccoons, hawks, owls, eagles. The sooner nestlings are strong enough to leave their nests and hide, the more likely that they will survive.

Feed me!!!!
Carl begging his parent for food
And do not fear; the parents are watching, dive-bombing cats and other dangers, and feeding their youngsters on a regular basis. Sometimes a couple of youngsters will hang together, but more often they will go their separate ways, thus increasing their probability of survival. The parents know where each is, and are feeding them appropriately.

Don’t let the nestlings’ size fool you. When they leave the nest, they are 80% or more of their adult weight. Their legs are already adult size, and their wing feathers are nearly full grown. But they are still babies. They will often tip side to side as they walk, making them look a trifle drunken. Part of the problem is that they don’t have their tail feathers yet to act as their rudders.

Carl being fed by his parent

The pictures are of a neighborhood nestling. I first saw it five afternoons ago. The first neighbor didn’t know what to do, but had put out some tuna fish. Baby crows have to have the food stuffed down their throats—so putting out food won’t help nestlings.

The next morning that baby had moved across the street, near a house with a known hunter cat. The parents dive-bombed that cat until it started lying elsewhere. Now the little crow is staying at a house where the owner watches daily, but doesn’t crowd it. The parents feel comfortable in the yard, and Carl the crow (that’s what the neighbor calls it), struts around more steadily every day, and hides in the flowers at night.

Still no tail feathers. Carl is still grounded.

It still doesn’t have tail feathers yet, but will soon.

Remember, most birds found walking about on the ground are not abandoned, and don’t need human “help”. Keep your pet away from the area that the bird is staying, and wait about a week. It will fly away then.

Design workshop for 145th Street Light Rail Station Subarea


145th Street Light Rail Station Subarea Plan
Design Workshop
Thursday, June 12, 2014; 6:00-8:00pm
Council Chambers, Shoreline City Hall, 17500 Midvale Avenue N

Even though the trains won’t be running for nearly a decade, the City will spend the next year creating a subarea plan for the neighborhoods surrounding the future station.

Adoption of this plan will change land use and zoning designations, and regulations that influence neighborhood character.

The purpose of this workshop is to brainstorm possibilities for where new households and businesses should go; where transportation and environmental improvements are needed; how buildings and public spaces are designed; and other factors that affect quality of life.

Please join us and tell us what you would like to protect, enhance, or change about your neighborhood. 

Refreshments and child care will be provided.

This interactive workshop will focus on images and discussion of:
  • Appropriate places to add density and uses like neighborhood businesses, shopping, and services;
  •  Environmental restoration, such as stream corridor and natural area enhancements;
  • Neighborhood features needed to enhance character, such as public art, gateways, and signage;
  • Parking strategies;
  • Sidewalks, trails, and other pedestrian and bicycle facilities;
  • Intersection and crossing improvements;
  • Affordable housing opportunities;
  • Parks, recreation, and public art;
  • Landscaping, lighting, streetscape furnishings, and safety features;
  • Offices, industry, and other employment opportunities;
  • Green features for buildings, rain gardens and other natural stormwater infrastructure, and district energy.

Contact Miranda Redinger, Senior Planner. 206-801-2513, or visit the website for more information.

The 145th Station Citizen Committee (145SCC) is a group of residents who formed to articulate a community voice in the planning process. For more information, email

Book Report by Aarene Storms: To Be Perfectly Honest

To Be Perfectly Honest : a novel based on an untrue story  by Sonya Sones

How can you tell if Colette is lying?

Her mouth is open.

Colette is a truly unreliable narrator. She continually lies (she likes to call it "reimagining reality") to make her life seem more interesting ... and to annoy her movie-star mother, who rarely pays attention to Colette and her little brother Will.

When Colette's summer plans change from "Paris with friends" to "San Luis Obispo with mom and Will and Mom's new co-star," she gets mad ... and the lies start to stack up.  

In the middle of this comes Connor, Colette's first real boyfriend. If only she could stop lying to him!  

HERE AT LAST is a book with a believable main character who actually says "NO, I don't want to have sex with you (yet) and sticks to her decision throughout the book. Not because she isn't attracted to Connor -- she is. But because she really doesn't feel ready for sex.  

Connor is not prepared to accept "no" as a final answer from Colette ... and he's prepared to lie through his teeth to get what he wants.

This book is a quick, fun book-in-verse filled with enjoyable -- but unreliable -- characters.  

Rating:
No sex, but a few steamy close calls, some minor cussing, and some underage drinking and drug use. The adults are easy to dislike at first, but they (especially Colette's mom) really redeem themselves at the end.

Recommended for readers ages 14 and up.

The events may not have happened; still, the story is true.  --R. Silvern

Shoreline group forms local partnership with Washington coalition for open government

A new citizens group in the city of Shoreline has formed a partnership with the Washington Coalition for Open Government to help promote a better understanding of open-government laws among local residents and local government officials.

The group, the Shoreline Coalition for Open Government, was founded by Richmond Beach resident Jerry Patterson. It is the first local group to affiliate with WCOG, which is a statewide, nonprofit and nonpartisan organization dedicated to defending and educating the public about the state’s open-government laws.

Patterson is a board member of the Richmond Beach Community Association, which has battled Shoreline city officials over development permits for a large residential development in a dispute that has reached the Washington State Supreme Court.  Patterson said the long-running controversy has demonstrated that both citizens and public officials in Shoreline need better knowledge and understanding of the state Open Public Meetings Act and the Public Records Act.

The new Shoreline group is fully independent of WCOG and has no legal or financial relationship with the statewide organization.  Patterson said ShoreCOG is modeled after WCOG and intended to promote WCOG’s values of government transparency and accountability at the local level.  ShoreCOG hopes to hold public forums and workshops and to speak out when open-government concerns are raised in the city.

Both Patterson and WCOG President Toby Nixon emphasized that the new group’s purpose is not to take positions on local issues or candidates.  “We share the same values of open, transparent government,” Nixon said. “WCOG’s role is to provide support and information about the public’s right to know and the legal obligations of state and local governments to provide access to public information.”

WCOG was founded in 2002 by a group of individuals representing organizations with a broad spectrum of opinions and interests but all dedicated to the principles of strengthening the state’s open government laws and protect the public’s access to government at all levels. WCOG stands for the principle that transparency and public participation are essential building blocks of good government.

Membership in WCOG and ShoreCOG is open to the public. For more information on membership to WCOG, contact the office at 6351 Seaview Avenue NW, Seattle, WA 98107-2664, on the web, or call 206-782-0393. For more information on membership to ShoreCOG, you can contact the office at PO Box 60233, Shoreline, WA 98160, or on the web.

Details about the lockdown at Shorewood Wednesday

According to Shoreline police, a man driving a stolen SUV was observed stealing mail on Wednesday morning. The citizen observing the theft called police and gave a good description of the SUV. A police deputy arrived on the scene moments later and caught up with the SUV in the area of NW 185 and 8 NW.

Police notified Shorewood High School, which implemented the automatic locks and put the school into lockdown. 

After a short vehicle chase, the suspect ran through a construction fence at the school and wrecked the car. He fled on foot. Shorewood staff monitored video cameras, providing information to the police about the whereabouts of the suspect, who was caught and arrested hiding in a school district vehicle parked behind the school.

The suspect was not armed and there was no danger to the students.

The suspect was booked for multiple felonies and warrants.

This email was sent to Shorewood families:

As you all know, our first priority is the safety of our students, staff, and community members. We want to inform you of a situation that happened this morning. At approximately 9:25 a.m., we imposed a lockdown at the request of Shoreline Police, who were searching for a burglary suspect in the vicinity of Shorewood. Police quickly apprehended this individual and the lockdown ended after about 20 minutes, and we were safe during the incident. 
A lockdown or lockout is defined as a situation where students are kept supervised within their classrooms or in the interior of the building until the emergency no longer exists. Please know that the students, staff and community members did a great job during this time. Our staff followed every step of the school district lockdown procedure. I want to thank them for their leadership. Thank you for your continued support and feel free to contact me if you have any questions or comments regarding today’s situation. 
Sincerely,
Bill Dunbar, Principal

June is national "adopt-a-cat" month and the Progressive Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) in Lynnwood is marking the occasion with specials on cat adoptions.

Adoption fees will be WAIVED for every cat over the age of three every Thursday in June.

“Our adult cats offer so much love and companionship to cat lovers looking to either start their fur-families or expand them.” said Kay Joubert, Director of Companion Animal Services at PAWS. 
“Cats are the most popular pet in Seattle, which is why we opened Cat City in Seattle to complement our companion animal operations in Lynnwood.” Joubert said this special adoption program in June would help adult cats find their “forever homes.” 

PAWS offers potential adopters two locations to meet and greet lovable felines looking for their forever human companions. The Companion Animal Services shelter in Lynnwood, 15305 44th Avenue West, and Cat City in Seattle, 5200 Roosevelt Way NE.  Hours and more information can be found online.

May 2-4, Girl Scout Troop 42037, led by Melissa Gates, took ten girls to San Francisco to walk over the Golden Gate Bridge to become cadet girl scouts.

The Golden Gate Bridging is a Girl Scout tradition that brings girls from all over the United States to make the symbolic walk across the bridge to symbolize their promotion to cadet scout.

The girls raised money for the trip by selling 6000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies, and putting on a pancake breakfast and craft fair last November.

The bridging ceremony was held on May 3. They were able to spend two nights and explore the city.

The troop meets at Ridgecrest and has members from Parkwood, Mountlake Terrace and Ridgecrest.
